The scream Lena Riddle hears in the woods behind her house is enough to curdle her blood—she has no doubt that a woman is in real danger. Unfortunately, with no physical evidence, the local law officers in small-town Ash, Kentucky, dismiss her claim. But Lena knows what she heard—and it leaves her filled with fear and frustration.
Ezra King is on leave from the state police, but he can’t escape the guilty memories that haunt his dreams. When he sees Lena, he is immediately drawn to her. He aches to touch her—to be touched by her—but is he too burdened by his tragic past to get close?
When Ezra hears her story of an unknown woman’s screams, his instincts tell him that Lena’s life is also at risk—and his desire to protect her is as fierce as his need to possess her.

I love it when the characters come to mind almost as clearly as if I’ve known them all my life.
That’s how Ezra King was…the hero from my newest release, If You Hear Her. It’s the first book in my romantic suspense trilogy…followed by If You See Her and If You Know Her, releasing this winter.
Both Ezra and Lena Riddle, the heroine, were almost fully fleshed out in my mind from the beginning. I had this vague idea for the story, but their characters were never vague. Ezra is the walking, wounded warrior and he’d snarl at you if you tried to tell him that.
His head is in a bad place and he knows it…and he hates knowing that somebody else might figure it out. His partner and ex-lover had betrayed him and he’d been forced to make a choice that still haunts him. As things stand, he’s still dealing with a bad leg, bad memories and holes in his memory from that night.
That last thing he wanted to do was meet somebody who made him want to get past all of that. And that’s exactly what happens with Lena. He just doesn’t know if he can handle it. He makes all sorts of missteps, all sorts of mistakes, decides maybe they should just be friends (and that idea goes over really well) decides that maybe he needs more than friendship…and all of this happens before the dead body turn up.
Once that happens, he has to get his head on straight and fast.
If you’d like to read more about Ezra, Lena and the rest of the stories, I’ve got a nice long excerpt on my site and you can read about the other two books in the Ash Trilogy as well, plus check out the wallpapers for the series and the contest that’s going on for the next couple of weeks.

Shiloh is one of my favorite authors. I’ve been reading her for a while. I never read one of her books that I didn’t like.
This sounds like a good romantic suspense, scary too with a scream in the night. But I’ve read some pre-reviews about it already, and would love to win it. Thanks for the guestpost and the give-away.
Count me in – sounds good.

Even though I have only been a fan of Shiloh’s for a few short months, I adore her books. When I heard about this set of stories I knew they would be as great as her previous books. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.
This one sounds great. But what do you call it the Ash series? I haven’t heard and i’m just curious.
